We woke up early on this particular morning. As we stepped out of the gate, we were greeted with a lovely pink sunrise.
6:33am

After our morning walk, we drove out to town to buy breakfast. Hubby wanted Kopisan Lai Fun (rice noodle) and the "yong tau foo" or "liew" as we locals call it.
Noodle and liew placed separately from the soup.
With the clear soup added to the noodle.
The best way to enjoy the noodle is to add the chili sauce to the soup.
My Bauhinia Kockiana in front of my house.
It acts as a beautiful striking landmark.

Dinner
My neighbour ordered stewed salted black bean fish head for us.
A flavourful dish to go with rice or porridge.
Salted egg for hubby because he is not a fan of fish head
I ended up eating most of the fish head.
Opened a can of pickled lettuce.
Satisfying dinner on a hot evening.
Mural on the wall surrounding a Chinese school.
This year, many of us miss our family reunion dinner. Looking forward to enjoy a meal together with family members and friends.
And now this word to all of you:
You should be like one big happy family,
full of sympathy toward each other,
loving one another with tender hearts and humble minds.
(1 Peter 3:8, The Living Bible-TLB)
Wonderful sunrise and such interesting food! Inspiring, next week I´ll make pickled eggs :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, sad we are so limited due to the darn covid.
The covid thing makes us all prisoners in our own home. The only outdoor thing I can enjoy is my little garden.
DeleteSuch a beautiful sunrise and these plants look amazing.

Thank you and have a beautiful weekend.
DeleteWhat a lovely pink!
ReplyDeleteThe mural looks very beautiful with its nice pastel colours.
Thank you, Libby. Have a lovely weekend.
DeleteDon't think I've tried Kopisan Lai Fun before but I do enjoy yong tofu! They sell freshly cooked salted black bean fish at our neighbourhood shop - I had the canned ones before with porridge. Maybe one of these days, I'll buy a pack and try. The pickled lettuce is great for steaming chicken. Let me see if I can find my long ago post on it!
ReplyDeleteHere you are! Maybe you'd like to give it a try!

I haven't tried steaming chicken with pickled lettuce. Sounds delicious.
DeleteThanks for the link to the post. I will definitely want to try your recipe because I am into simple and quick recipes. Thinking of it also makes me drool. I also like the way you fry the bitter gourd using Chinese sausage and egg. This also I must try because I have not combine bitter gourd and sausage before. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteBauhinia Kockiana looks truly amazing! Love beautiful sunrise!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. Have a lovely weekend.
DeleteHummm tudo com aspecto delicioso.

Thank you, Francisco.
Delete...I have seen Bauhinia Kockiana before, but didn't know its name. Thanks Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom.
DeleteI want to eat the ching noodles soup but not Lai fun but with Mee hoon. Congee with salted eggs are the best. So easy to eat and so tasty. Your Bauhinia Kockiana is beautiful! Do you need to prune it often?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. The plants need trimming one and off to keep them in shape.
DeleteSweet mural! Such yummy spicy dishes! Such a wonderful post! Thanks so much! Hope those family dinners will comeback in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ellie. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteYour Bauhinia Kockiana is beautiful! I wish I could plant it too but I lack space. When I was a little girl I used to love those pickled lettuce.
ReplyDeleteI have seen people planting in pots. I still love the pickled lettuce.
DeleteBauhinia Kockiana in front of your house is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nadia.
DeleteLovely food for the day. You and your husband eat so very well.

DeleteIt's such a joy to step out in the morning and see a lovely sky.
ReplyDeleteMy prayer is that all of us can have family and friends over for meals again someday soon.
Thank you, Mimi. This is also our prayer.
DeleteLas flores son tuyas?? Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteYou bring own container to buy breakfast?? Good to bring own container. Porridge for dinner sounds comforting and satisfying.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will bring my own container whenever possible especially when there is hot soup.
DeleteWhat a beautiful dawn.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William.
DeleteNever heard of wilt lettuce.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
This pickled lettuce is very nice.
DeleteBellas flores las de tu vecina. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteThank you, JP.
DeleteThe salted black bean fish tastes like those canned ones? That is a big bowl of it though. A can doesn't contain much.
ReplyDeleteThe salted black bean fish head was ordered from a restaurant, not the canned type.
